In period 1 (01/01/19 - 31/08/20), the consortium focused on Objectives 2, 3, 4, 5. The efforts were targeted at designing and the developing the different SensMat sensors, according to performance, cost, power consumption, platform integration and communication specifications.
Under WP2, CNRS and CEA, in cooperation with the partners in charge of developing the sensors, defined and provided the table of technical, economic, ergonomic and aesthetical requirements for designing the SensMat platform. USTUTT supervised the definition and development of the multi-scale and multi physical modelling to use (WP3), based on the information collected in WP2, to carry out analysis and environmental simulations. The first tests were done to evaluate and calibrate the operational modes of the devices in relevant environment (WP4). The smart monitoring architecture for the sensing system integration in the real environment was designed and the sensor’s dataflow tests defined (WP5). Data exploitation (DMT and BIM) was started by collecting inputs from linked tasks (WP6). All these activities brought together the best conditions for the deployment of the SensMat platform in the case studies aiming to demonstrate added-value and impacts of the project (WP7).
In parallel, all members of the consortium participated actively to the Management tasks (WP1), and the Dissemination, Communication and Exploitation activities (WP8).
In period 2 (01/09/20 - 31/08/22) the consortium focused on Objectives 1 and 6 and maintained the efforts on Objectives 2, 3, 4. The efforts were made on:
• Further experimental validation of multi-scale and multi physical modelling with the aim to generate a parametrized model to be used in the DMT (WP3).
• Further development and integration of sensing technologies: (VOCs measurement, dust, corrosion, use of IR imaging, and vibration diagnosis) (WP4);
• Catching up on DMT optimization and validation; Grow the knowledge base on CH science; Increase training in PC (WP6);
• Deployment, demonstration of the sensing platforms in 10 end-user infrastructures (Small & Medium sized museums); collect end-users’ feedback (WP7).
The consortium members were still actively involved in the Management tasks (WP1), and the Dissemination, Communication and Exploitation of the results (WP8) which at the end of the project were identified as being: 15 Key Exploitable Results (KERs), of which:
• 12 KERs constituting the SensMat solution
• 3 KERs in the categories of Service/New knowledge/method.
Those results, as well as the project as a whole, were actively promoted in period 2 through
• Updates of the website and social media (LinkedIn)
• Attendance to national and international events
• Organization of events
• Participations to events organized by sister projects
• Production of communication materials (poster, general presentation, videos)
• Scientific and large public publications
